I GOT my SHOT

On CTV News Channel now. There is a possibility (not official yet) that the minimum age recommendation for AstraZeneca be reduced from 55 to 35. If that's the case, it's pretty close to what the UK says (their threshold is 30).
 
Yup. This is why I was ******. I made my MIL appointment for her vaccine as the last appointment for a reason. Asked them 3 times to jab me with leftovers...
‘SORRY you are too young. If you were 50 I could, but since you’re 40 I cant’
‘But you’re going to throw it out anyway’
‘Sorry I cant’
Like everything else, the frontline people take the brunt of stupid policies. They'd probably be happier putting it in arms instead of throwing it out too, but that could cost them their jobs.

Lots of people - and some governments - are incapable of risk management.

edit: Denmark's 7-day average for covid19 deaths is 2. Population 5.8 million. The risk associated with covid19 is currently quite a bit lower there than it is here. This tips the balance towards the risk of this vaccine not being outweighed.

While I understand your point, and risk management the risk is still there.

And frankly if there’s a chance of me dying or accepting the risk of waiting for the next batch of another vaccine....tough call.
 
How long after signing up are y'all getting the shot?
I signed up at rexall on apr 4th. No word yet.

Try Shoppers. They seem to have it together(ish). Signed up online on the 3rd (a Saturday), didn’t hear back so called the Shoppers pharmacy I’d booked with on the 9th. They booked me in for yesterday.

Rexall got back to my MIL within about 3 days to book her appt. total time from initial signup to jab was less than a week.
 
The Rexal I booked with on the 1st or 2nd sent me a text yesterday to call to book an appointment. They’re on it, just slower.

Depends where. Shoppers, just sent me an email that the demand is greater than the supply and to be patient. Queued up with them Apr. 1st.
 
It’s a crap shoot. Our machinist booked after lunch today with a Costco in Mississauga. His appointment is at 5pm. Go figger.

It happened in Texas. A doctor had one shot left and no arm for it. Called a friend who lived nearby and gave him the jab. The doctor got fired.
 
I was stabbed with Moderna today at Oakville, well oiled machine, but 35 people to screen, rescreen, herd the folks, usher you out the door after a third screening. Glad to be done but this must be costing a fortune.

Funny, I knew the nurse doing the jab. ER nurse form OTMH, this is her side hustle, making great coin on her days off , clinic slumming LOL

Pharmacy students are upset, because the medicine and nursing students are getting paid more to give the same shots.
